I figured it out!

I had to go into Settings on my iPad, and in "Privacy" I had to turn on the button that will allow Facebook to use my photos. This allowed me to then save photos from my Facebook album pics to My Photos and iPhoto on my iPad. If you click and hold on a picture on Facebook it gives to the option to save, share, or delete. If you press save, it will now automatically save them to your iPad. Sweet!

I don't use Facebook but I will take a shot assuming that saving photos works the same way in Facebook as it does everywhere else on the iPad.


Hold down on the photo and a window will popup with Copy Image or Save. Tap Save. The photo should go to the camera roll album in the Photos App. You have to allow Facebook to save the photos as well. Settings>Privacy>Facebook. You may have to enable it in there and in Settings>Privacy>Photos.


If you use restrictions you may have restricted it in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos or Facebook.
